The UC Davis Center for Advocacy, Resources & Education (CARE) provides anti-oppressive and trauma-informed primary prevention, education, and advocacy to UC Davis students, faculty, staff and affiliates who have been impacted by sexual assault, sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, intimate partner violence, stalking, and gender identity and sexual orientation based harassment. CARE approaches our work with a dedication to honoring each individual for who they are, the identities they hold, and the intersections of their experience.

CARE leads campus-wide efforts to prevent all forms of sexual violence and harassment, and provides confidential crisis counseling, case management, advocacy and accompaniment to those who have experienced sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, intimate partner violence, and stalking. CARE is an independent office, with no reporting responsibility to Title IX or campus police.

CARE staff collaborate extensively with campus and community partners to ensure comprehensive and inclusive advocacy and prevention services at UC Davis and UC Davis Health.

Job Summary

Reporting to the CARE Director, the Education and Outreach Manager for CARE is an experienced professional with advanced knowledge and recognized expertise in the overall field of sexual violence and harassment, including sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and stalking, and evidence-based prevention strategies.
